Hi there,
I’ve been using EndeavourOS KDE for just a couple of weeks now and I seem to have messed up my graphics drivers/dependencies. I’m hoping I don’t need to just do a clean install “with lessons learned”, but it seems that might be the case.
I noticed that I could not get G-Sync/VRR to initialize on my monitor using X11, so I tried out Wayland, which with the latest 535 Nvidia drivers worked pretty well. Wayland still had other problems, so I went back to X11. This is when I noticed that the page at System Settings → About this System → More → Graphics → OpenGL (EGL) was broken saying “eglinfo tool crashed”.
I previously installed Lutris with the guide here to install the necessary 32-bit dependencies, and I think this may be around the time I messed it up by installing other 32-bit dependencies I actually didn’t need over time.
Running nvidia-inst produces:

If you have any advice on what I should do to try and fix these things, or if I should just reinstall & avoid doing the same in the future, I’d really appreciate it!
